From start of project to the actual recording loop began, I worked 100% of my available spare time on this project.

Return Of The SOASC= (ROTS) project that started almost 2.5 years ago comes to its end covering all tunes from HVSC #50 until #67, including CGSC #133 collection. MP3 and FLAC files were produced.

August 20 2015 @ 00:57
Out of the totally nowhere, we made it public that SOASC= is once again recording with the secret mission already started in January 2015 (or even earlier) to gather new hardware, new solutions, better automation and the most important of all, continue where we left off 6.4 years earlier - to record all updates from HVSC #50 and upto the current #63 with future updates coming along as HVSC releases them. To add more into the insanity of this project, we included all available tunes from CGSC collection as well!. New bonus features are FLAC recordings next to regular standardized SOASC= MP3 recordings. Now thats a fact!

Return Of The SOASC= (ROTS) project was secretly posted onto our website, no details, no numbers, only Commodore 64 keys spelling out "R O T S". We're back big time and we have surprises a foot!

Released new version of the search engine database online. Further, during October all MP3 files will be mirrored by www.df.lth.se on a fast bandwidth connection. We're back stronger and better.

HVSC#49 update was recorded for all 3 chips (PAL/NTSC) and added to collection including all known bugs. Now over 154700 MP3 files! Also, this is the last ever recording done for the SOASC= project. The time has come to close the lid on this massive project lasting for 2.5 years. Commodroid has been debriefed and dismantled :-)

All known buggy files has been fixed for the MOS6581R2, MOS6581R4 and CSG8580R5 recordings! Database checks out 100%. Houston, we do NOT have any more problems! The eagle is landed! SOASC= collection is FINALLY ready for launch! SALUT!

Recording was finished for the MOS6581R2 chip too. Entire HVSC now as MP3! I was personally around when the last seconds was recorded, and the joy of seeing it finalize just was a kicker!

Game Over, man, Game Over! Recording was totally finished and verified against the "songlengths.txt". All files accounted for! Final results became: 97755 files @ 300GB for both the SID6581 and SID8580 chips based on HVSC #46.

Recording was finished for the SID8580 chip. Entire HVSC#45 now as MP3. HVSC#46 was the next morning after added to the new recording queue, (1500+ files).

Recording was finished for the SID6581 chip. Entire HVSC#45 now as MP3. HVSC#46 was just minutes after added to the new recording queue, (1500+ files).

Recording has RE-started for both the SID6581 and the SID8580 chip! Now they will be as noise free as I could possible achieve without going too far beyond what a standard C64 is made of! Initial recording was aborted after 9500 tunes, just because the SOASC= crew noticed some errors and also based on feedback from test users! From this date the SOASC= project will pump out approx 1000 of tunes each 24 hour session.

Project aborted completely. A number of fixes had to be made, electronically, physically and on the software. There are SO MANY factors involved in this project! By this date, the SOASC= project had recorded approx 9500 tunes automatically. All is now deleted, and the project will be restarted later this evening. It has to be perfect!

Recording has started for the SID8580 chip!
